2021 Brides - How are we feeling?!

We had a microwedding in September with only 9 guests. Back in September, we were hopefully about postponing to May, but now May doesn't look so hopeful anymore. Unfortunately postponing cost us a rescheduling fee so postponing again is not an option for us. At this point, we're hoping that we can have our May wedding reception as safely as we can. I feel so selfish saying it...Cancelling would be devastating after all the time and money we've put towards this wedding. We took dance lessons for our first dance and we never got one. I didn't get to do a dance with my dad. I'm trying to remain hopeful about it all and I'm hoping that people still want to come! I'm also hoping that by May dancing is allowed at receptions again. We do have a backup 50 guest list just in case.

Still feeling anxious! My fiancé and I (who’ve been together for 8 years this February) were supposed to get married in April 2020, but everything shut down right before, so we postponed. We’re trying to get it rescheduled for this fall, but it seems to be two steps forward, three steps back. We picked a Saturday in October that worked for our venue, officiant, and florist, but our DJ is completely booked! I don’t know what to do 😞

I'm keeping the plans I'm not postponing it sunless it's bad bad but hopefully not

December 18th is the day and we don’t plan on postponing (again)! We originally were getting married Feb 13th, 2021 but we live in Southern CA and both have big families and there was just no way we could it without stressing and putting others in jeopardy. I’m hoping things will be better by December, but even if it’s not, we plan on cutting down the guest list significantly if we have to. We’re at around 100 guests at the moment so we will see.
Congratulations everyone!

I’ve been with my fiancé for 14 years...it’s been a long time coming to say the least! We’d like to start trying for kids soon so that’s a big factor in us deciding to move forward with the wedding this year. Our date is 10/10/21 and planning for 100 or less. I’m immunocompromised so definitely will take precautions. We will downsize if needed and livestream. I’m more worried about the reception than the ceremony. Our wedding is outdoors so I’m a little more hopeful because of this but we are in So Cal, so definitely have a plan B and C. It’s so hard to know what will happen but we’re remaining hopeful and at the end of the day we’re ready to get married. We can always do a vow renewal later if necessary ☺️

My wedding date is 7/10/21 and even if we have to have something small we are still having our wedding no matter what Ive been with my partner for 10 years 11 this year so its time. I wish all of you guys all the best on your wedding!!!!

My fiancé and I are still planning to have our December 11th date no matter what, even if it’s just me and him at our venue.

We were supposed to have the big party 7/2020 but ended up eloping, going to a nice dinner (2 of us) and having a small dessert reception in the back yard with 30 ppl (only 25ppl were allowed to gather at the time)
We decided to postpone the dances, written vows and big party to 7/21 but it’s not looking too good. All I’ve wanted was “a dress and a dance party” and if I can’t get my packed dance floor party I don’t want to spend the money. I’d like to think I’ll have a grand 5 year anniversary party or something. It’s heart breaking, but to “half way” my big day twice seems like a waist of money...

Stresssss out to the maxx

We got engaged pre pandemic and secured 10/16/21 as our original date, so haven’t had to postpone. Our plan was always 50-60 guests, fancy dinner reception, and skipping the dancing. Interestingly enough this means we may not have to make any changes even if the COVID situation is no better by this fall. Our state has a 50 person limit on indoor gatherings so we should be ok with our original plan. I guess my small, selfish, probably unrealistic hope is that things will be safe enough with everyone vaccinated so we don’t all have to wear masks and can hug with impunity.

I am supposed to get married on July 31. We postponed from last August. We really DON’T want a “masked” wedding.! I am only having about 40 people, ceremony is outside, but reception is at a country club. Now I am thinking we may not have the reception because I have no idea if I will be able to have everyone based on my state’s restrictions, and how long do I wait before I make the decision?? This is a second wedding for us both, but we really wanted a celebration with our friends and family. I am totally stressed about it because I know there are people I may have to cut from the list if the venue won’t allow more than 25 people......Or do we just have the ceremony with everyone and then no reception? Would it be weird to invite people to just a ceremony?? I would appreciate any feedback from brides going through the same issue.
